Well I have been living in Ecuador for 8 months now, waiting for my wife's visa so I can go home to NY. I have sold these things to several people all over ecuador. I dont make a profit, I only do it because you would be suprised how many people has family in the states. Well I have realised, at my house my internet speed is only 512kbps which is " High Speed" here. To be honest some times call quilty sucks and some times its good. I see like in the afternoon my internet speed is slow and at night it is rather fast. High Speed Internet is improving, and its really hit and miss. I personally have used my magicjack in

Guayaquil, Ecuador ( wireless/ Antenna)

Duran, Ecuador (cable)

Azogues, Ecuador ( DSL)

Basically for the wireless at my house its like an antenna pointed to the isp and its hooked to a wireless router. It works really good just wish they offered 20mpbs like back in NY.

Give it a few more years!

I first sent my wife a magic jack in ecuador so we can talk, i was tired of spending 50 a week in intl calling. I would go home for a few weeks to see family and make some money. After tht we saved alot and it was easy to call her. Had very few issues.

jcteck88, What you brought up is important. It's not so much the GeeWhiz tech but rather what it can do for people.
Your point about families in various countries (with high long distance rates) being effectively cut off from each other is so true. That's why I have given &/or resold MJs in a good part of the Caribbean.
Some of these phone "C"ompanies are "W"orthless when it comes to serving their customers. In the past they have even disabled the old call-back systems and sued in court even though they knew they were wrong while counting on the delay to put any competition out-of-business.
Thanks for your post that brings to light how important MJ is to people in other countries.._________________New & Improved

Gave one to my sister in law in Southern Malaysia (Jahor Bahru) and she calls us in California with great sound quality. Pity the USB dongle has just busted off my replacement ($16.95) #@*+^!! MJ and once again I'm stranded w/o MJ. Oh well...cheap is cheap.
